reub - April 25th, 2003 at 06:41 PM

Got these pics emailed to me by a mate in the U.S. today. Has anyone seen it either in a car show or running on the track? Any additional pics would be great.

I spoke with John Burke of Burke engineering and he said he built the car for a guy about 5 or 6 years ago. He said it was a fully fabricated race car with custom front and rear independant suspension, running a type 1 transaxle with holinger gear sets and the ej20 from a wrx. Would be interested in any further info.

Bring on the Subed Bugs.....LOL

Funny how an Aussie takes pics and I get them emailed to me via an American. LOL. Are they the only 2 pics that you took. The workmanship on the car looks great. Be interesting to see how the car actually goes. Is it a Turbo engine or an N/A engine?

:repuke

NEVER EVER have I liked that mixin and matchin. VW peoples have been doing it for decades, but to me it looks like YUK. Commodore P-platers do it too: 1999 VT kits on 1988 VNs
